- Swans and Saloon Basco have another daughter (probably elder to Arad Basco) who is also a BIA. Her bloodline give rise to Byzantine and his son (!!!!! LMAO ) Heride Sayaste. so now it seems only Harricone is the only non-pure blood sword sage. (is that why the murder the young boy? lol juz kidding)

just a note: Even though Arad seems to be the younger sibling, she is placed to the left of her sister. Probably Nagano will clarify this, but for now it appears that Byzantine or Arad's birth date might change to account. Besides, Arad obviously looks older in that picture -_-

Melody House is now from the daughter of Alto, herself the daughter of Dis Vice. Used to be XXI in the old settings. ODK and Jade seem to be built off the same masterplan, which is the MH seen in in one of the pics; SR3 and SR4 both branch off it. It looks way more like SR3 though.

Seems like some stores have started selling Designs 2. bk1 order stops. HLJ still does not have it in their list, but they have Designs 1 now.
